What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside North Shore or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
